Walking along the grand path leading to the heavens, Lin Fan’s heart was filled with joy. Leaving other matters aside, although the recent expedition to the Sea of Graves had been fraught with danger, the rewards had been immense.
There was no need to elaborate on the “Ancient Arm”—it was an utterly miraculous treasure. As for the “Ancient Pendant,” Lin Fan still couldn’t bring himself to use it, so he let it quietly rest in his backpack.
Lin Fan opened his status panel and gazed at it with satisfaction.

Regarding this near-perfect status panel, Lin Fan felt deeply satisfied. This was the fruit of his hard labor and countless hardships. Who in this world could possibly rival him now? In Lin Fan’s mind, no one could. Wherever he went, he was always the trendsetter, the leader of the era.
Yet there remained two mysteries he had yet to unravel: the “Heavenly Blood” that had merged into his veins, and the “True Sutra of Heaven and Earth” engraved on his back. All of this meant he still had a long road ahead in seeking the truth.
“Woohoo!” At this moment, Chick rubbed his round belly contentedly. Just having enjoyed a hearty meal, with beautiful young girls serving him, Chick was reminiscing fondly about this kind of luxurious lifestyle.
“Chick, my boy,” Lin Fan said, his eyes glinting with an unusual light, “can we talk about something?”
Chick tilted his head in cute confusion, his little chicken eyes brimming with bewilderment, unsure what was coming.
“Want to become stronger? Want to revive your chicken glory days? Want to become the ultimate divine chicken, unrivaled across the universe?” Lin Fan whispered enticingly. Each question sent waves of longing through Chick’s previously blank gaze.
Chick’s imagination began to run wild.
A great, revered, featherless chicken soaring through heaven and earth, with countless hens flocking around him…
The more Chick imagined, the more beautiful it seemed. His cute chicken eyes sparkled with infinite desire. He stared intently at Lin Fan and solemnly nodded.
I’ll take on the responsibility of safeguarding the world.
“Chick, you never disappoint me,” Lin Fan said, revealing his hidden agenda. “As the saying goes, wealth should not leave the family. This incredibly powerful ‘Ancient Pendant’ shall be fused into you.”
Chick had initially been excited, but upon hearing this, his chicken face froze. Then, spreading his wings, he let out a loud “woohoo!” and jumped off Lin Fan’s shoulder, sprinting away with all his might, flapping his legs furiously.
“Hey hey… Chick, wait!” Lin Fan was stunned and chased after him…
“Woohoo!!” Chick’s cries were filled with horror.
Thus, man and chicken vanished into the horizon.
…
Zang Yao City.
Yao Wuxie suddenly realized he had become the center of attention.
Even his father, who had once barely spared him a glance, now treated him with unusual care.
The five older brothers who had constantly beaten him before now barely dared to utter a word in his presence. When he stood before them, they all wore smiles more painful than crying.
Hehe…
Yao Wuxie felt as though his happy days had finally arrived. Just having a meal with Brother Lin had completely changed his life. Truly, Lin Fan was his best friend.
…
Yao Clan.
“Ancestor, how reliable are the words of that high expert?” Yaotian’s face bore joy, yet his eyes held doubt.
The key to the clan’s future strength was actually Yao Wuxie?
No matter how he looked at his useless sixth son, Yaotian couldn’t see anything special about him.
The old ancestor of the Yao Clan sat calmly, his heart brimming with excitement. At their level of cultivation, they could see far beyond the surface and understand much more than others.
“Regardless of how reliable the words are, considering Wuxie’s relationship with that expert, do you really think he would harm him? Or do you think the Yao Clan has anything worth scheming for? Sometimes suspicion is justified, but too much suspicion becomes unnecessary,” the old ancestor said steadily. “Go, summon them. Also, bring the three servants who are always by Wuxie’s side.”
“Yes, Ancestor.” Yaotian nodded. It seemed the tasks assigned by the expert were about to begin.
…
At this time, Yao Wuxie was strolling through the city when his eyes suddenly lit up upon seeing a beautiful female warrior. He immediately began to tease her.
Seeing the numerous Yao Clan insignias embroidered on Yao Wuxie’s clothes, the female warrior merely huffed and turned away.
Hahaha…
Yao Wuxie felt overjoyed. This was the kind of life that truly suited him.
“Master, hurry back! The Ancestor and the Clan Leader have gone on an expedition. They said it might take years before they return,” Daha came running from afar.
“What?” Upon hearing this, Yao Wuxie was stunned and immediately rushed home.
But when he arrived, he found his father and grandfather had already left. He hurriedly inquired how long they would be gone, only to learn the answer: no less than three years.
Oh no… In that moment, Yao Wuxie felt a sense of impending tragedy.
Although Lin Fan’s influence had elevated his status in the clan, that was only because his father and grandfather had been around. Now that they were gone, would the Yao Clan still tolerate him?
Upon seeing the gleeful expressions on his five older brothers’ faces, Yao Wuxie’s heart pounded with dread. He immediately sensed something ominous and hurried back to his room.
It’s over, it’s over. Just as life had started to improve, it was all ruined again. During this time, he would surely be beaten mercilessly once more. However, at least he still had the cultivation techniques left by Lin Fan. Besides, they probably wouldn’t dare to harm him too severely now—he wasn’t the same person he used to be.
That day, Yao Wuxie didn’t go out wandering. Instead, he stayed in his room, pondering how to survive the days ahead.
The first problem weighing heavily on him was that his monthly allowance would surely be cut off.
With his father and grandfather gone, the person now in charge of the Yao Clan would be his eldest brother, Yao Shengtian. In Yao Wuxie’s eyes, this was a truly tragic development.
The sun set behind the western hills.
Night quietly descended.
Inside his room, Yao Wuxie was admiring the moon, sipping wine, and savoring the beauty of life. But in an instant, the courtyard gate was violently thrown open.
“Master, run quickly! The eldest master wants to kill you!” Daha burst in, sword in hand, his face smeared with blood, his left arm bearing a bloody wound, a terrifying sight.
Upon hearing this, the wine cup in Yao Wuxie’s hand dropped to the ground with a crash.
“Ha…” Staring in shock at the bloodied Daha, Yao Wuxie was completely stunned. What was going on now? His father and grandfather had just left, and instead of the usual beatings, his eldest brother was coming for his life? That was too ruthless.
“Yao Wuxie, your days as a useless wretch are over…” A cold voice echoed from outside.
